Whats your oldest inhabitant?

[carter]

getting them too eat it is still hard i tried all different kinds of food and when i was sure he would die he started eating brine shrimp he wouldnt touch anything i tried

 

[Ogaawd]

were you hatching them?

 

[carter]

nope id love too but finding a female is a bit difficult
no they dont go after prepared foods even full grown they just swim away or ignore it and garlic seams to not work on them

I think he meant were you hatching the brine shrimp...

ORA captive breeds mandarins. They are about twice the price of wild-caught mandarins, but are widely available.

Here are my oldest fish, my occellaris is 10 months old and my black and white is about 9 months old. Here's my favorite pics of them

I thought I'd share mine...
A black oscillaris clown (used to be a pair) named Eddie Fish by my then four year old son.
He's two years old now. First fish I got in the tank... (he's the one with the orange on his face)

Love that oscillaris pic, Brian!

I started my tank around 1988 or 89...been too long to remember exactly, but most of my live rock is from Hawaii when it was still legal to harvest it from there. The longest I had a fish live, a yellow watchman goby, was around 13 yrs. I still have a ton of mushroom corals from when I first started up along with green star polyps and anthelia (even tho I am trying to elimate it). I also have a mated pair of clarkii clowns with a sebae anemone which are over 10 yrs old.

did read some on that, from what I saw there is more about wild egg clutches being hatched in tank than real breeding,it was quite a while back? thought the prices were alot higher too

I think everyone got tired of seeing pics of my tank. ;)
This is probably the latest I took a few months back.

There's a bunch here starting when I upgraded to my 125.
